Risk warning and disclosure

Index CFDs can gap at the open; stops are not guaranteed at Pepperstone, so the loss can exceed the stop distance.

This page is general information, not personal advice. CFDs are leveraged; losses can mount quickly and most retail clients lose money. Pepperstone and XS serve Singapore residents from offshore entities without a MAS licence, so MAS rules and Singapore dispute channels do not cover those accounts. Spread figures are minimums or averages the providers publish and widen in fast markets.
